Hi we have a group email and one lady uses AOL Mail and instead of her replies starting with "Re" they start with "Reply" so her msgs don't get included in the thread with every body else's, its like she started a
new thread.
Is there any setting I can change in Apple Mail to see a "Reply" msg the
same as a "Re" msg? Or does any body know of a setting in AOL Mail that
we can ask her to change? Email is supposed to use "Re" right?? Thank you.

Email is supposed to include an "In-Reply-To:" header that should be used
to build the thread tree. The subject-line should not be necessary for threading.
I have no idea though if AOL or AppleMail messes that up for you.

I have no idea though if AOL or AppleMail messes that up for you.
I have seen people doing all sorts of weird things, so it might be that
the person is creating a new message with a manually typed subject
(perhaps pasting in any previous text) or manually editing the subject
after clicking the 'Reply' button.

Correct. I have correspondents in other countries with different prefixes
for "Re:" yet the emails thread just fine.
I have no idea though if AOL or AppleMail messes that up for you.
It could be Apple Mail. I have one person who uses Apple Mail and their responses always come as an attachment and often not in the thread.

You're thinking of the "Reply-To" header.

The way to tell is easy enough: Highlight (view) the message in Apple
Mail, choose View > Message > All Headers (or Raw Source), and look for
the "Reply-To" header.

At the source code level it is called: "In-Reply-To:"

No. You're getting it wrong as well.
There are TWO different headers:
Reply-To: email address to which a reply should be addressed)
and
In-Reply-To: Message-ID (itself a header) to which the email is a reply.

My mother is one of the original AOL members and refuses to change
accounts. Her replies to my Gmail account are threaded and remain part of
the conversation, not separate emails.
I suspect your AOL user is creating a new message when replying.
I have seen people doing all sorts of weird things, so it might be that
the person is creating a new message with a manually typed subject
(perhaps pasting in any previous text) or manually editing the subject
after clicking the 'Reply' button.

friends and none of them had a Reply-To line. The only ones that did
were from companies.
